House. Senate. Governorships. If you don’t feel like clicking through the links, allow me to summarize: ten more House seats shifted in the GOP’s favor, and so did three Senate seats, and so did four Governor’s races. Only one of them (WY-GOV) is now off the actual board, but Cook is now projecting a net +6 to +8 GOP in the Governors’ races, a net | Read More »

It is becoming abundantly clear that the Undemocratic Party-Quackademia-Lame/Brained Media triumvirate are not quite catching what’s going on around them. Whether it is the polls going south on them, the political prognostications, the abject despair of their base, or the enthusiastic opposition, the Left is just wishing it away. That’s a good thing. I hope they get their rest because the longer they wait, the better. | Read More »

We’re heading into the home stretch. We’ve rounded the final corner and are now speeding towards the November finish line. If you haven’t figured it out I’m talking about the upcoming elections where Democrats are trying their best to stay ahead of the Republicans in the race for Congressional control. But Democrats appear to be running out of fuel, the result of a failed “Recovery | Read More »

The Iraq War did not just fade away. It ended with a qualitative result: a spectacular victory for America in the face of long odds and complete vindication for the leaders who decided to stick it out instead of tuck tail and run when Democrats wanted to. Americans have largely forgotten about Iraq and have long since tired of hearing about it. That is in large part | Read More »

All the talk in your typical Senate analysis this year has assumed Republican Mike Castle will beat Democrat Chris Coons in the Delaware Senate race, but the fact is there’s still a GOP primary in progress. It’s forgivable to forget about that primary when polling of the primary is scarce, and PPP and Rasmussen hold Coons under 40, but let’s extrapolate from the PPP poll | Read More »

After the financial panic of 1893, in Grover Cleveland’s 1894 midterm, Democrats went from 218 to just 93 of 357 House seats. Between 1892 and 1894, Democrats lost 125 House seats, about 35 percent of the total. Can Obama’s 2010 midterm be comparable? RCP has 111 D seats being contested and 16 R seats being contested in 2010. This means the GOP needs to be | Read More »

It seems like most of the third party and independent spoilers this year are harming Democrats, but the Constitution Party’s Tom Tancredo is clearly hurting Republican Dan Maes in the Colorado Governor’s race, currently throwing the lead to Democrat John Hickenlooper. But two new polls on that race, from Magellan Strategies via Real Clear Politics and Rasmussen Reports are so different that I think we | Read More »

If a repeat of Jerry Brown as Governor isn’t enough to convince you to cast your vote for Meg Whitman for Governor of California then consider this reason: Reapportionment. You might think like I did that reapportionment is now handled by an independent commission, and you are partially correct. The independent commission was formed as the result of proposition 11 in 2008 and is responsible | Read More »

This is an open letter to Richard Nugent, who is running for Florida’s Fifth Congressional District. Look, I don’t really like you. You are the embodiment of everything that is wrong with the Republican Party. Your entry into thsi race and attacking Jason Sager personally, instead of sticking to the issues, has earn you many enemies. However as loath as I am to admit it, | Read More »
